A High-Speed, Wavelength Invariant, Single-Pixel Wavefront Sensor With a Digital Micromirror Device

IEEE Access, 2019
The wavefront measurement of a light beam is a complex task, which often requires a series of spatially resolved intensity measurements. For instance, a detector array may be used to measure the local phase gradient in the transverse plane of the unknown

Experimental Trials With The Optical Differentiation Wavefront Sensor For Extended Objects [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Commonly used wavefront sensors, the Shack Hartmann wavefront sensor and the pyramid wavefront sensor, for example, have large dynamic range or high sensitivity, trading one regime for the other. A new type of wavefront sensor is being developed and is currently undergoing testing at the University of Arizona's Center for Astronomical Adaptive Optics ...

Optical See-through 2D/3D Compatible Display Using Variable-Focus Lens and Multiplexed Holographic Optical Elements

Photonics, 2021
An optical see-through two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) compatible display using variable-focus lens and multiplexed holographic optical elements (MHOE) is presented. It mainly consists of a MHOE, a variable-focus lens and a projection display

Focus diverse phase retrieval testbed development of continuous wavefront sensing for space telescope applications [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Continuous wavefront sensing on future space telescopes allows relaxation of stability requirements while still allowing on-orbit diffraction-limited optical performance. We consider the suitability of phase retrieval to continuously reconstruct the phase of a wavefront from on-orbit irradiance measurements or point spread function (PSF) images.

Ptychography retrieval of fully polarized holograms from geometric-phase metasurfaces

Nature Communications, 2020
Controlling light with planar elements requires full polarization channels and reconstruction of optical signals. Here, the authors have demonstrated a general method relying on pixelated metasurfaces that enables wavefront shaping with arbitrary output ...

Fast and Highly Accurate Zonal Wavefront Reconstruction from Multi-Directional Slope and Curvature Information Using Subregion Cancelation

Applied Sciences
The wavefront reconstruction is a crucial step in determining the performance of wavefront detection instruments. The wavefront reconstruction algorithm is primarily evaluated in three dimensions: accuracy, speed, and noise immunity.

Measurement of Thermo-Elastic Deformation of an Optic using a Polarization Based Shearing Interferometer [PDF]

, 2012
A shearing interferometer is presented which uses polarization control to shear the wavefront and to modulate the interference pattern. The shear is generated by spatial walk-off in a birefringent crystal. By adjusting the orientation of the birefringent crystal, the components of the wavefront gradient can be independently measured to allow ...
